So what constitutes concealed carry? If I have a holster on my hip, out side of my pants, attached to a belt, but it is covered by my shirt, is that considered concealed? Would I have to tuck my shirt in to be legal? Yes I know I can just carry my fishing pole and carry concealed, but I don't want to have my fishing pole with me when we are just going on a hike.

In your example, the shirt hanging over the gun is highly likely to be argued as 'concealed'. Tuck in your shirt.

Frankly, I'd use a safety pin to make sure any shirt or coat I was wearing COULDN'T end up over part of my gun
